Scrapbooking Retreat

Last weekend I went to a scrapbooking retreat with my MIL and i had such a wonderful time. It is so nice to get away and do some crafting and socialize. :) I love my family, but I like a little me time. :) I wanted to try an explosion box while i was there and decided it would be perfect for a mother's day/Birthday gift for my mom. Her birthday is Apr 20 and I won't see her til my little's girl's 1st birthday on May 1st, so i thought i could do something that was good for both. Here is my the box i made.

unfortunately i didn't have any SU dsp with me, so i used what i had, but the cardstock is old olive, pacific point and real red. The ribbon is all SU, and most of the embellishments are as well. I really like how it turned out.
